Nomination for Small Business Administrator
March 16, 1993
The President today announced his intention to nominate North
Carolina businessman Erskine Bowles to head the Small Business
Administration.
``Small business is the engine that runs the American economy. We
need to give a hand up to the new businesses and traditional mom-and-pop
stores that provide the jobs in our cities and small towns,'' the
President said. ``Erskine Bowles will do an excellent job of making SBA
a more efficient operation that works to strengthen the backbone of
small business in this country.''

Press Secretary.
